Default Another First Flight

N174SB took to the air this fine Easter Sunday. All went well. No surprises. Temps were good, no leaks, manual flaps work great and landing was one to be proud of.

Can hardly believe it's flying.
Congratulations! Did you say manual flaps? I thought all the -7 kits had electric flaps. Didn't know manual was an option.

Awesome Seth! Way to Go! Can't wait to see it--maybe we'll make it to LRU for breakfast on the 3rd Sunday. Better get some photos up.
